@writingwithhitchcock I read somewhere that Hitchcock said the reason why VERTIGO was a such failure (at the time) was because of James Stewart's age. Interesting because VERTIGO was the last movie Hitchcock ever made with Stewart.

Elster is obviously a risk taker. If Elster can kill his wife, keep her dead body around for a while, hire his mistress Judy Barton to play the role of Madeleine while Scottie tails her around, risk Scottie hitting on Judy during the time that Judy was pretending she was Madeleine (thus risking that Judy will fall for Scottie and might even reveal the whole scheme), pay her off, dump her, then flee the country, then it's easy to see why he'd risk Scottie possibly reaching the top of the tower

still fuzzy on the difference between plot and story

@mosh918 The best way to clarify it would be to think of Plot as a synopsis of events and Story as the emotional arc of the protagonist.

A Great Video. But I felt that Hitchcock was trying to make a reason on why Vertigo was a failure. This was the same thing with Under Capricorn. He tried to make a reason on why Under Capricorn was a failure. One of the reasons he gives was James Bridie (Screenwriter of Under Capricorn) was a part intellectual playwright. French Critics considers Under Capricorn as one of Hitchcock's finest films.

@konway87 Thank you. Despite comments to the contrary, Hitchcock definitely took criticism to heart. Having attention called to the "hole" in Vertigo by critics made that the easy target for Hitchcock to call it one of its weaknesses, which it may be. But he also blamed its commercial failure on Paramount's publicity. Re: Under Capricorn, choice of material not writer is the culprit. But in the Truffaut interview tapes, Hitchcock is actually quite candid about his being his own errors on UC.
